To analyze data¡ Cronbach’s alpha coefficient¡ confirmatory factor analysis (CFA)¡ structural equation modeling (SEM)¡ Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression in SPSS19 and Liserel8.8 were used. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) showed that all coefficients were significant and main indexes of model’s fit showed that the model was good and suitable to extract the relationships among variables. There was a significant correlation between all components of star power of athletes and attitude and purchase intention. Multiple regression showed that 22% of variations in dependent variable (attitude towards product) was related to attractiveness and dependence¡ and also 16% of variations in dependent variable (purchase intention) was related to attractiveness¡ dependence¡ likeable personality and expertise.
